Hi all

Just wondering what lighting you prefer to use for your axies tank? Would blue LED lights be ok?
Thanks

I have a marine land hood which has white leds and blue leds. The axies don't mind the blue leds at all but when I turn on the white leds they hide all day. Blue leds won't have much effect unless your room is dimly lit or the leds are very bright. But it does look stunning

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
